Municipal ownership is co­
operation. All c o -o p e ra tiv e
enterprises are conducted for the
benefit of the co-partners. The
electric light plant is owned by
the municipality. The munici­
pality is composed of the resi­
dent tax-payers of the commun­
ity. The tax-payers, therefore,
of Forest Grove, own the electric
light plant. Why have the co­
partners not been given their
rightful dividend from the earn­
ings of the light plant, in de­
c r e a s e d cost of light? The
present rate of 12h and 4J should
be materially reduced at once,
according to the report of the
Finance committee of the City
Council.
This is a good town. Let us
get all the good out of it we can.
The way to get good out of land
is to improve it. The way to
get good out of a town is to de­
velop it. It is a poor farm that
is all pasture. It ought to be
worked. He is a poor farmer
who is content to take merely
what nature sends. He is a
poor citizen who is willing to let
the town shift for itself, taking
only such benefits as come with­
out labor. The man who is
satisfied to harvest merely what
comes up will have to live on a
diet of weeds.
The P r e s s has repeatedly call­
ed attention to the unsafe con­
dition of the sidewalks, due to
their deep covering of damp
leaves. Last week a member of
the City Council suffered a bad­
ly strained shoulder, due to a fall
caused by slipping on one of
these leaf covered walks. It
would seem that this strenuous
object lesson would be incentive
enough for the Council to in­
struct the property owners to
clean off the wet leaves from the |
walks.
It is reported that several
Montana gentlemen enjoyed a
quiet alfalfa smoke the other
day. We have an idea that this
is not the first time alfalfa has
been smoktd in a pipe. A whole
lot of smoking tobacco seems to
be adulterated with alfalfa or
something worse.
Speaking of alfalfa, sometime
ago in Denver alfalfa biscuits
were passed around at a ban­
quet and pronounced of very ex­
cellent taste. Which leads one
to wonder why the bakers have
not tried milk weed in place of
Hour from which to make their

Folks who buy from mail-order
houses because they think things
are cheap, should consider the
chicken. The first thing a
chicken learns to say is “cheep,
cheep;’’ but it soon stops and be­
gins to crow- about its own
chickenyard.

STEAHR’S BAZAAR has now-
got their immense stock of Xmas
gifts and toys on display and they
are indeed a sight to see. Although
all their pianos and organs, sew­
ing machines, and [in fact any­
thing that could be removed, has
been put in another store build-
j ing, still the store is full to over­
flowing so there is hardly room
to get around. Large tables are
placed through the middle of the
room and loaded down with toys
of all descriptions and the show­
cases are filled with beautiful
gifts for the older folks. The
fact of the matter is Steahr’s
Bazaar has Xmas presents in
abundance for papa and mamma
as well as all the children and
now is the time to select your
gifts and have them laid away
as the variety of goods is great­
er now than later on and the
store is not so crowded with cus­
tomers.
